[GEAR] Finally found out why only one pickup was working.

Picked up a used Squire Telecaster Custom with ‘Duncan Designed’ pickups a while back without doing any checking/testing it first. Eventually I discovered only one of the pickups was functioning.

Finally decided to open it up hoping it was something simple, but found this mess instead;

So the pickup wasn’t working because the pots for it aren’t even connected to anything. Anyone know what might be going on here? Seems like someone was trying to do something with it. I don’t know enough to determine if it’s just a botch job or if this rewiring serves some sort of purpose.

Debating rather to bring it in to get it fixed, would it generally be expensive?
